CONDITIONS OF SALE 


1, Any bid which is merely a nominal or fractional advance 
may be rejected by the auctioneer, if, in his judgment, such bid 
would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 

2. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute 
arise between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either de- 
cide the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. 

3. Payment shall be made of all or such part of the pur- 
chase money as may be required, and the names and addresses of 
the purchasers shall be given immediately on the sale of every lot, 
‘in default of which the lot so purchased shall be immediately put 
up again and re-sold. 

Payment of that part of the purchase money not made at 
the time of sale shall be made within ten days thereafter, in de- 
fault of which the undersigned may either continue to hold the 
lots at the risk of the purchaser and take such action as may be 
necessary for the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or 
private sale, and without other than this notice, re-sell the lots 
for the benefit of such purchaser, and the deficiency (if any) aris- 
ing from such re-sale shall be a charge against such purchaser. 

4. Delivery of any purchase will be made only upon pay- 
ment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. 

Deliveries will be made on sales days between the hours of 
9 A. M. and 1 P. M., and on other days—except holidays— 
between the hours of 9 A. M. and 5 P. M. 

Delivery of any purchase will be made only at the American 
Art Galleries, or other place of sale, as the case may be, and only 
on presenting the bill of purchase. 

Delivery may be made, at the discretion of the Association, 


of any purchase during the session of the sale at which it was sold. 


5, Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business 
in which the Association is in no wise engaged, and will not be 
performed by the Association for purchasers. The Association 
will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for employing 
at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, 
however, without any assumption of responsibility on its part 
for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such service. 

6. Storage of any purchase shall be at the sole risk of the 
purchaser. ‘Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, 
and thereafter, while the Association will exercise due caution in 
caring for and delivering such purchase, it will not hold itself 
responsible if such purchase be lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed. 

Storage charges will be made upon all purchases not removed 
within ten days from the date of the sale thereof. 

7. Guarantee is not made either by the owner or the Asso- 
ciation of the correctness of the description, genuineness or au- 
thenticity of any lot, and no sale will be set aside on account of 
any incorrectness, error of catologuing, or any imperfection not 
noted. Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior 
to its sale, after which it is sold “as is” and without recourse. 

The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot 
correctly, and will give consideration to the opinion of any trust- 
worthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly cata- 
logued, and, in its judgment, may either sell the lot as catalogued 
or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby would 
become responsible for such damage as might result were his 


opinion without proper foundation.

BRONZES BY RY (\ 


91—Smatut Torrorse. By AnToIN OUIS watt of ort 


Barye, having been the most eminent sculptor of animals / 
vn = since the Greek master Myron, the smallest bronzes from 

his workshop are sought for. This little tortoise is not 

only finely wrought and true to nature, but has a beauti- 

ful patina on the bronze. It is meant for a paper weight, 

but might be used as a pendant. It comes from his own 

studio, as do all the other Baryes here. 


V\-- vos 
91a—Inpian Water Buck. By A. L. Barre 


Pleasing little clock ornament by the master of all mod- 

é y (4 ern animal sculptors. Quiet, but full of natural move- 
ment and grace. Olive brown patina. One of the ant- 
lers has been broken off. 


92—Eneuisu Serrer. By A. L. Tee inka Tpepl pr 


The sculptor has caught the intelligent look of a setter 

Ht = dog as it pauses in sight of game, and alfo the suspended 
motion as, with one paw nerevously raised, it half- 
crouches with excitement and notifies his master that a 
bird is there. The muscles are strongly indicated and 
even the hair of the dog suggested in Barye’s broad way 
of modeling. Fine brown patina. 


ey 
on 


93—Srac rv Sicut or His Rivat. teed evi ' Barve / C4 


Small mantel ornament in which the sculptor has caught 
23 a g¢_the noble, defiant look of a stag about to do battle with a 
j rival. Large modeling and fine movement—power and 
light-footedness combined. Peculiar patina, of which 
Barye had in his day the monopoly. He surpassed all 
the bronze men in quality of color as in other traits. 
Rare piece from his earlier life before he took to num- 
bering his pieces. 


(Illustrated) 


Mn ein pel 


94—Lion Smirinc Serpent. By A. L. Barye 


aft 


This vivid little episode of the jungle may be seen in 
bronze larger than life in the Tuileries Gardens, Paris. 
The large group is not so lively as this one; the left paw 
is not raised to strike and the tail does not curl in anger. 


Also the serpent or python is held fast by a different — 


foot. The snarling, violent gesture suited to the mantel- 
ornament was restrained by Barye in the monumental 
piece. Beautiful brown patina.

95—Jacuar at Gaze. By A. 7 Barve 


ot 4 


A statuette that brings out the immense pawer of the 
South American jaguar—a beast of prey the Spaniards 
called the tiger; for large specimens are as big as young 
tigers and more powerful. The creature sees its food 
or its enemy, and stands ready to advance or bound 
away. It is a female. Beautiful brown patina.

96—BuLu on THE DerensiveE. By A. L. Barre 


_ Rare piece, because the sculptor did not cast many speci 


as oo 


mens of it. The moment chosen is when dogs are let 
loose and the bull, tearing up the ground with its forefoot, 
lowers its head and turns it sideways to impale the in- 
cautious hound on one sharp horn. The immense weight 
and the square bones and muscles of a full-grown bull 
are told by the sculptor with the greatest faithfulness 
to nature.

DE eae 


The raised forefoot and open mouth of the stallion, its 


~ arched neck and pose of hind legs show that he is in the 


presence of a rival and proposes to beat him off the field. 
The head shows remote Arabian blood, the powerful 
barrel and limbs suggest the Flemish horse. Early copy, 
not signed. Greenish patina. 


98—Cuares VI, Kine or France. By A. L. Barye 
os. cLhis little equestrian statuette of one of the Kings of 
7 Ss — France may have been modeled as a sketch to interest 
those who were arranging for a royal monument. Instead 
of helmet he wears the laurel crown; instead of lance or 
sword he carries the baton of command in his right. 
Barye has carried out very completely the armor of man 
and horse. Fine old bronze patina. Very rare.

/./ ) oe _Meéne was one of Barye’s contemporaries and more suc- 

(TU ~~ cessful in his appeal to horsemen and hunters than 
Barye. He sought elegance more than character and ~ 
types. This is a handsome highbred animal built for 
speed. Its fine skin shows the veins, its large eyes and 
“set up” tail speaks for the careful breeding and han- 
dling of the stud. Unusual patina.

Mounted on a marble slab. Modern’ and beautiful piece 
of modeling and casting made in consequence of the suc- 

od BO Sh. of “L’aprés-midi d’un Faune.” The peculiar move- 
ment and gesture of the halfgoat are taken from that 
play, and very cleverly rendered. Moreover, the 
bronze has a fine olive-brown patina. Unusual and 
valuable.

ious 1 ginia and Pennsylvania to offset the Hessians hired by 
George III as marksmen. Morgan is bareheaded, clad in 
buckskin and carries a sword in his right. Attitude and 
face express quietly but firmly his purpose to see the 
contest through. Very rare and valuable.

TOR. 
Two little boys have been playing some game, the loser 
to carry the winner pickaback. This little group of 
one boy on the other’s back may have been meant for
